so we're looking for 2 objects smaller than a spoon, one of which is electrical? and thats not a tool... hmmm... would either of them be used inside? outside? in a specific room in a house? would it be used in public?

If the murderers took the electrical one, she would've died, right? Perhaps Electrical chair? NO Electrical eel? NO

so we're looking for 2 objects smaller than a spoon, one of which is electrical? YES and thats not a tool... hmmm... would either of them be used inside? YES outside? YES in a specific room in a house? not necessarily would it be used in public? YES

so the electric object can only be turned on or off? does it run off batteries? is it some kind of torch? does it have an infra red light kinda thing on it? would you keep it in your pocket? when using it would you point it at something? or someone?

Does the electrical twin work off: wall outlet? rechargeable battery? disposable battery? fuel cell rechargeable by cranking or motion ( as in wrist watches that do not need to be wound up if one wears them at least 4 hours a day )?

Are twins a doorbell and a knocker?

U-uh! I simply have to try this...

Did would-be-murderer ring a doorbell instead of using a knocker, but because it was out of order Alice did not open her door, and so she is still alive?

Oops! He used the non-electrical twin, so my wild guess does not work.

How about: Alice was deaf and the would-be-murderer used the knocker ( which was not wired to the "door-light" ) instead of doorbell ( which was ), so Alice did not know that someone was at the door and did not open it?

was one of the items a bug (that was planted somewhere, like on a telephone)? could the other item be a wire--was someone wearing a wire? did people think Alice had done something wrong? was she spared the death penalty possibly?

is she possibly pretending to be an ex-convict (so that she would have to wear these tracking devices?)? maybe to get closer to these kidnappers and do a story on them? maybe she was an undercover journalist?

did the kidnappers figure out that she was a journalist? did they figure out that she was wearing the devices? if so, did they know she had two devices, or did they think she had only one? maybe one device (the electrical one) was hidden, so that when the kidnappers took the non-electrical one, they thought they had taken the only device she had, not realizing she had two?

if she is an undercover journalist, this is reminding me of someone famous who was an undercover journalist who found some amazing stories by pretending to be involved with whatever he was covering (football, motorcycle gangs, etc.) the name "paper tiger" and george are sticking out in my mind, but I could be compeletely wrong!

Our heroine was an investigative journalist. Her agency gave her a GPS ring so that, in case she fell into trouble, she could be located and rescued. Realising that the ring could easily be stolen, she decided to have a second ring made, which looked exactly like the GPS ring only lacked GPS features. When she actually was kidnapped, her kidnappers stole the decoy ring on her finger, thinking it was the GPS ring. Since she still had her GPS ring hidden on her person, it remained undiscovered by the kidnappers and thus she was rescued.
